NovaStar TB60 4K LED Display Multimedia Player
The NovaStar TB60 is a third-generation Taurus multimedia player for full-color LED displays. It combines media playback and sending control in one compact unit, so teams can publish content, schedule campaigns and monitor screens from a computer, mobile phone or tablet.
Use the TB60 for retail signage, corporate communication, events, transportation displays, hospitality and other professional LED installations that need reliable 4K playback, more output ports and remote operation.

Key Features and Benefits
- Higher loading capacity: up to 2,300,000 pixels, against the 1,300,000 pixels of the TB40, with 4 Gigabit Ethernet LED outputs instead of 2.
- Quad-core processing: ARM A55 processor running at 1.8 GHz with 1 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage.
- 4K decoding: H.265/HEVC up to 4096 × 2304 at 60fps and H.264 up to 4096 × 2304 at 30fps, played from internal storage or a USB drive.
- Smooth playback: one 4K, two 1080p, five 720p, six 480p or six 360p video streams in asynchronous mode; enabling synchronous multi-screen playback halves those figures.
- Dual operating modes: asynchronous playback from internal storage or synchronous playback from the HDMI input.
- Flexible control: publish content and control LED screens from a PC, smartphone or tablet, locally or over the Internet.
- Multi-screen synchronization: NTP time synchronization as standard; GPS or RF time synchronization when the specified module is installed.
- Mains-powered chassis: the TB60 uses an internal 100–240 V~ power supply with an ON/OFF switch, so no external adapter is needed.
The HDMI input and loop output support a maximum of 1920×1200@60Hz on this model. The 4K decoding applies to content played from internal storage or USB — it is not a 4K HDMI input.
How the TB60 Works
Asynchronous signage mode
Load scheduled media to the internal player for unattended playback. This is suited to digital signage, menu boards and promotional content.
Synchronous live mode
Connect an HDMI source when you need live presentations, events or real-time content on the LED display.
Cloud-based publishing and monitoring
With NovaStar cloud platforms, operators can publish updates and monitor connected displays without being on site. This helps reduce service visits across distributed screens.
4G Module Notice
The TB60 is supplied without a 4G module. Purchase the specified 4G module separately when cellular connectivity or GPS time synchronization is required. Network priority is wired network first, then Wi-Fi, then 4G.
TB60 or TB40?
The TB60 is the larger of the two third-generation Taurus players: 2,300,000 pixels across four Gigabit outputs and an internal power supply, against 1,300,000 pixels across two outputs and a 12 V adapter on the TB40.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NovaStar TB60?
The TB60 is a third-generation Taurus series LED multimedia player that integrates media playback and LED sending. It supports up to 2,300,000 pixels through four Gigabit Ethernet outputs and runs in synchronous or asynchronous mode.
How many pixels can the TB60 drive?
Up to 2,300,000 pixels. A single screen can be up to 4096 × 4096 pixels, and ultra-long screens can reach 23,040 × 4096 pixels. The practical limit also depends on how the cabinets are split across the four Gigabit output ports.
Can the TB60 play 4K video?
Yes, from internal storage or a USB drive: H.265/HEVC up to 4096 × 2304 at 60fps and H.264 up to 4096 × 2304 at 30fps. It plays one 4K, two 1080p, five 720p, six 480p or six 360p streams at a time, and synchronous multi-screen playback halves those figures.
Does the TB60 need an external power adapter?
No. The TB60 has an internal 100–240 V~, 50/60 Hz power supply with an ON/OFF switch. Maximum power consumption is 18 W and NovaStar recommends a 25 W supply.
Can I feed a 4K HDMI signal into the TB60?
No. The HDMI 1.3 input and loop output support a maximum of 1920×1200@60Hz, although custom EDID is supported from 512 to 4096 pixels. For a live 4K source, scale it with a NovaStar video processor first.
Can I control the TB60 remotely?
Yes. Content publishing, screen control and monitoring are available from a computer, phone or tablet through an Internet-connected workflow, including the NovaStar cloud platform.
Is the 4G module included?
No. The TB60 ships without the 4G module; buy the specified module separately if cellular access or GPS synchronization is needed.
